AGENCY, THE: PILOT (TV)
Summary
The pilot episode of this drama series about the Central Intelligence Agency. In this episode, Jackson throws a party to announce his job transfer to China. Meanwhile, an operative in Egypt is killed after conveying one piece of intelligence -- a date only three days away. Lisa and the team suspect an al Qaeda terrorist strike on that day, but they don't know when or where. They formulate a plan to mislead a Syrian diplomat, Mr. Ghori, into believing that al Qaeda had his brother killed. The plan works. Ghori begins to trust the CIA, but he won't share details of the impending attack until his family is brought safely from Syria to the United States. As the CIA works furiously to comply with this stipulation, Ghori offers bits of information on the looming attack. Meanwhile, he is followed by Syrian agents who suspect he is leaking secrets. As the hours and minutes pass by, crucial details of the attack unfold in the nick of time. Commercials deleted.
(Note: This reworked pilot episode was not the series premiere.)
